Description Rüdiger Hölscher 2020-02-28 08:53:33 UTC 
Created attachment 158249 [details]
Example of files needed to creat a mailmerge

By creating a mail-merge file the content of the data-source field in the footer is only visible on the first page of the resulting *.odt file.

The bug is new and I never had this problem with older releases.

You can find an example (odt, calc, and odb files) in the attachment.

Let's set to WORKSFORME then, I also cannot reproduce with

Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: a0e8a42a45abc7e626346bf01903ed81a026287d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

In case there's a need to know the exact commit that fixed the issue, that one could be found by doing bibisecting (with reversed "good"/"bad" logic, since a fix and not the regression is to be found).

This is a regression from bug 128148, https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/9271152c5fb64a698de167861e39f6b073a60ad6

Michael, please note bug 133194 and bug 140885 that would greatly simplify mail merge bug bisect and testing.
